Help please! wiring issues!
hello, It's jack I was wondering what this part of my ignition switch goes to (link below) if I trace the wire a little ways back and right at the ignition there it LOT's of resistance also at the ignition it self the plug is melted where (21 on the digram) meets the switch and becomes very hot. When I turn my key to start position too engage the starter, the engine will fire but when I let go of the key to where it should be when motor running it dies. It runs fine when the starter is cranking over the engine, I can even rev it out as long as the starter it still engaged( I know it very hard on the starter) wondering what it goes to so i can replace it, as much detail as possible would be great?
It's number 21 on the right side, it goes to 37 up at the top im not ture what all that is?!?!

#37 is the main hot wire to your ignition(from battery). If that is getting hot, then something is shorting out. Sounds like your ignition switch is bad since it will not stay running when you let off the starter.

With problems like that it sounds as like you need too replace the whole wiring harness. There are some nice after-market on the the market that has all the wires ID'd so even a novice could rewire a truck.
